    Oil India sets up Rs.50 crore start-up fund

    Assam-based Oil India Limited announced that the company set up the Oil India start-up fund of Rs.50 crore to boost new entrepreneurs and ideas for India's oil sector. The company said it was looking to encourage and motivate students, young leaders and institutions to come up with 'out of the box' ideas. Oil India plans to launch a website inviting applications for the initiative.

    Oil India

    Oil India Limited is pitched to be India's second biggest oil and gas company, managed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Headquartered in Assam, the company has diversified interests in oil exploration, development, production of oil and natural gas, crude oil and production of liquified petroleum gas. Currently the government-owned company is led by Utpal Bora, who serves as Chairman.

    What is the 'Startup India' initiative?

    Prime minister Narendra Modi launched the 'Start-up India' campaign last year to help promote entrepreneurship and have more start-ups being launched across the country. The initiative looks to combat obstacles like licences and land permissions.
